On today’s episode of The Confluence: We get an update from a community meeting about the impact of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio; a robotic arm called FRIDA uses artificial intelligence to work with humans and create art; and the influence of casino lobbyists on the state Gaming Control Board.
Today’s guests include: Reid Frazier, energy reporter for the Allegheny Front; Angela Couloumbis, an investigative reporter for SpotlightPA; and Peter Schaldenbrand, Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute working with FRIDA.
